I have felt challenged since returning home from vacation, Sept. 7.
Almost every evening since then I've had an activity which took me back
out of the house, and this week, it's been not one but two such
activities every night. They were all good reasons, birthday
celebrations, doctor's visits, regular monthly club meetings, religious
holidays, High School annual start up events. Just too much of a good
thing for my tastes. I began to feel resentful rather than blessed by
the concentration of activity. It took it's tole on my vibration, and
thus what I was attracting, and thus my weight reduction plan (I turned
to food to comfort myself). I didn't give up on exercise, tapping, or
making better food choices, I just didn't find a way to stay as focused on them as I would have liked. So sometimes I ate more of a calorie dense food than was ideal, sometimes
I didn't fit exercise or fidigeting or tapping in when I could have
(but sometimes I did). Even though all this is true, I forgive myself,
and still love and accept myself just the way I am. The net result was
my weight stayed the same this week. Nothing gained, nothing lost.
Okay. My overly busy schedule has come to it's end, I'm refocused on my
blessings, and approaching everything in my life from a position of
love. I've already seen dramatic results in what I'm attracting (e.g.
this morning, my son, who never speaks to me when I drop him
off at school, wished me a good day, when I wished him one) and thus
I'm eager to see what this next week brings.
